Day 2: Table Mountain Aerial Tramway

The Table Mountain Aerial Cableway opened its doors to its first visitors on 4 October 1929. It now welcome an average of 800 000 visitors each year. The round cable cars take about 5 – 10 minutes to carry 65 passengers from Tafelberg Road to the top of Table Mountain, gently rotating to offer 360 degree views on the way. Once at the top your guide will lead you on an exploration of the flat topped table mountain before gently gliding back to the city. Take the afternoon to walk the picturesque V&A waterfront on your own or to take a nap if you need the time to recover from your long flight

Days 3 - 5: Khwai Concession in The Okavango Delta

Fly to Khwai Adventurer Camp, located in a private concession just north of the Khwai River above the Moremi Game Reserve. The Khwai Concession is one of the most diverse areas in northern Botswana which seldom disappoints when it comes to producing extraordinary wildlife experiences. The life source for this area is the Khwai River, the northernmost finger of the Okavango Delta alluvial fan, which provides vital sustenance to numerous animals.

Over time, the Khwai area has metamorphosed into some of the most varied habitats in the entire Okavango Delta: a blend of forests, floodplain, wetland and grasslands. The narrow Khwai Channel is home to large mammals such as hippo and crocodile with buffalo and red lechwe often seen grazing along the fringe. The beautiful gallery riverine woodland found along the river provides further sanctuary to birds, primates and leopard. Elusive roan antelope often come to the river to drink. Activities focus around day and night game drives, nature walks and seasonal mokoro excursions.

Away from the river there is a wonderful mix of acacia and leadwood trees that abuts into mopane woodland. The latter, together with the permanent presence of water, attracts large numbers of elephant. Larger predators include lion, wild dog and spotted hyena, while birdlife found here is just as varied thanks to the colorful palette of habitats.

Days 6 - 8: Linyanti

After breakfast, we drive to the airstrip for light aircraft transfer to Linyanti Adventurer Camp. Linyanti Adventurer Camp is located in the Linyanti Reserve which covers 125,000 hectares in which only three private camps operate, making for a private and exclusive trip. In the north there are open floodplains beside the water of the Linyanti River, with an adjacent band of dense forest stretching to the south. To the east lies the Chobe National Park.

The next two days are spent enjoying the wide range of game viewing activities the Linyanti area has to offer. Game drives in the Linyanti private concession offer fantastic opportunities to see a wide variety of animals but especially elephants. Time is flexible so that we can follow the movement of the game. One full day you will depart camp for an early morning activity, followed by lunch at a scenic spot and a hammock siesta. Before heading back to camp you may go canoeing, dependent on the activities of the local hippos.

Day 9: Chobe National Park

After a short morning drive and breakfast depart the private Linyanti concession by light aircraft for Chobe National Park. Enjoy a leisurely shaded boat cruise along the Chobe River famous for its vast herds of elephants and unique species such as the elusive puku and Chobe bushbuck that move to the river during the hottest hours of the day - even more so in the dry season. Depart Chobe National Park for the Kazangula border, where the four countries of Zambia, Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe meet. Transfer into Zambia to overnight on the banks of the Zambezi River near Victoria Falls.
